AB  - A wide variety of approaches to estimate the degree of synchrony between two or 
      more spike trains have been proposed. One of the most recent methods is the 
      ISI-distance which extracts information from the interspike intervals (ISIs) by 
      evaluating the ratio of the instantaneous firing rates. In contrast to most 
      previously proposed measures it is parameter free and time-scale independent. 
      However, it is not well suited to track changes in synchrony that are based on 
      spike coincidences. Here we propose the SPIKE-distance, a complementary measure 
      which is sensitive to spike coincidences but still shares the fundamental 
      advantages of the ISI-distance. In particular, it is easy to visualize in a 
      time-resolved manner and can be extended to a method that is also applicable to 
      larger sets of spike trains. We show the merit of the SPIKE-distance using both 
      simulated and real data.
